Taken

Yeh, It took me a couple of days to get my stroke back. Or

Yeh, It's taken me a couple of days to get my stroke back.

Which is most natural and correct?

Thanks!

Hi PreciousJones, The first sentence is used when you tell a remote past event ( past simple tense). While the seconed is used when you tell the event immediately after its happening (past perfect tense). So both of them are natural and correct.
